Making the bumper pads, crib skirt, and valances for the nursery was the first sewing project I did. I wanted a Classic Pooh nursery, but we couldn't afford the prices of the store-bought Pooh stuff. I found this plaid fabric that's got a lot of the "Classic Pooh" colors and then accessorized with all my Classic Pooh pictures and stuffed animals. My mom helped a lot since I'd never even looked at a pattern or threaded a sewing machine on my own. This stuff was originally in Patrick's room, but now it's being used by Connor. The sheer curtains on the windows are store-bought but we made the valances and tie-backs. |
